Itchy…scratchy…sand-papery…yeah, vaginal dryness isn’t fun. 🙃 And you’re not alone! So, why this is happening?!

When estrogen levels decline—whether due to a hormonal imbalance, perimenopause, or menopause—the vaginal tissue can become thinner, more delicate, and prone to irritation. Hormonal imbalances may also bring a range of symptoms, including bloating, mood swings, anxiety, acne, and breast tenderness or swelling.

Here are some lifestyle changes you can make today to support hormonal balance, which may also help reduce vaginal dryness:

Address the stress - The doctors at Parsley Health almost always center hormone-balancing lifestyle suggestions around stress reduction because stress is the thing that pings each of our systems and connects everything.

Nutrition and supplements - In addition to incorporating Omega-3-rich foods into your diet, consider boosting your intake of cruciferous vegetables (such as cauliflower, cabbage, kale, bok choy, broccoli, brussels sprouts) and supplementing with a B-complex and vitamin C. These can support resilience and help promote hormonal balance.
